Scout report
M. Alibekov is a 29-year-old central defender at Dinamo Makhachkala, enjoying a standout season — 0 goals and 0 assists in 19 appearances, a Season grade of 20, top 42% of Premier League centre-backs. On long-term scout potential he's rated 19.6, ranking 78th of 104 in the Premier League. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option (57.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.08 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Alibekov.
Judged on this season alone, Alibekov graded 20 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 13th of 31 of the 31 centre-backs in the Premier League, on 5 clean sheets and 3.081 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 20 → 20). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 20, 21st of 31 of the 31 centre-backs in the Premier League. At 29 Alibekov is in his prime years, and a market index of 1.9 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Dinamo Makhachkala finished 14th of 16 · a relegation-threatened side
3.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (14th of 16) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 57.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 19.6, Alibekov carries the 21st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier League of 31, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Dinamo Makhachkala finished 14th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
